Just found out today my Best friend of 32 years died of a heart attack last week. He lived out in the Island and I found out to late to attend his Funeral.He got me into Van Halen we used to hangout down by the train tracks listen to DTNA until the tape broke.We were talkin about going to the reunion and were gonna go in 1996 but these guys couldn't get their shit together for it to happen.

RIP Friend....

I've lost several good friends, some of them like family, brothers ... graduated with them.

Heart attacks, cancer, car accidents, Lou Gehrigs, snowmobile accident, so many ways.

Its never easy. You find seeing their family members is tough too.

Sorry to hear about the loss. You'll remember the good times after awhile.

It's always ard to lose someone that you cared about. There is nothing really to say except that they are in a better place. God Bless.

Sorry to hear it man.

My best friend in the world lives in the Seattle area....I have known him for 28 years now.

He has some health problems, but one thing I will never have to worry about is that A: He knows he is my best friend, and B: We have discussed everything we possibly could so many times that I know for sure I will not ever feel that I wish we would have discussed *insert subject here*.

I still call him every other week at least, and I block out at least 5 hours each time...I think our record once was an 8-hour phone call.....we watched High Plains Drifter over the phone, as it was being showed on TBS, and there was only about a 1 second delay between his broadcast and mine.

If I never had another girlfriend in my life, I could still say I had a great life due to the friends I have.

I lost a great friend to leukemia Sunday.
I told him to go alternative and take his chances but he went conventional where there really was no chance.

FRETTS & THRILLS

This news really sucks and I'm sorry to hear it. Good friends are tough to come by and tougher to lose.

My heart goes out to you guys. Celebrate their lives and remember them in your own special ways.

I have lost close friends, but I remember them on my own and whenever I am with other friends who knew them too. Their spirit lives on, so don't think it's the end, man. It's not!

God Bless

Thanks guys The thing is when he got married we sort of drifted apart.But I can say from the age of 11-20 we did everything together.Had our first smoke, first drink which I snuck some beers out of the house lol gettin drunk on 3 cans of beer was funny as hell. We jamed all the time and now all gone.

I pulled an Edward van halen last night and it was not a pretty site.
